An international team of astronomers has successfully trained a neural network to interpret complex data on supermassive black holes, especially focusing on Sagittarius A*, at the center of the Milky Way. This AI system processes data from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) and reveals new characteristics of the black hole that were previously discarded due to the complexity of the data. The neural network not only improved resolution but also suggested the black hole is spinning rapidly and aligns its rotation axis towards Earth, enhancing understanding of its surrounding material disks.
The new neural network trained by the Morgridge Research Institute is able to analyze discarded data from the Event Horizon Telescope, revealing new insights on Sagittarius A*.
Researchers now suspect that the black hole at the center of the Milky Way is spinning at almost top speed, indicating a significant finding in understanding its characteristics.
